Re: my file uploads missing/deleted

This python package may be a better choice for you, since I assume you want all user generated content (images) to be stored in Dropbox. 

This has pretty good documentation. 

https://pypi.org/project/django-dropbox-storage/

If you use this package, remove the sample code I sent

i added this function at the end of views.py file

def connect_to_dropbox():

    dbx = dropbox.Dropbox('your access token)

    dbx.users_get_current_account()
and i put given access token from dropbox
then what about call
do you mean in any view function that will show page included images add 
connect_to_dropbox()

and what about

for entry in dbx.files_list_folder('').entries:      print(entry.name)

You would add this code to the views.py file, which is where the business logic goes. 

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/topics/http/views/

Likely would add a class with properties and methods or a definition (a function) like below:

For example in your apps views.py file:

def connect_to_dropbox():

    dbx = dropbox.Dropbox('your access token)

    dbx.users_get_current_account()

    # this stuff likely would go in a separate function

    for entry in dbx.files_list_folder('').entries:

        print(entry.name)

At some point in your code you would call the function:

connect_to_dropbox()

i opened the documentation for django-storages ... and i installed Dropbox in my environment and i created my app folder  but i didn't complete docs .
somethings not clear ... like :

Link an account

dbx = dropbox.Dropbox('YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN')
dbx.users_get_current_account()
Try some API requests
for entry in dbx.files_list_folder('').entries:      print(entry.name)

where should i write these commands ?
thanks

You might try the docs from Dropbox

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/python#overview

You can checkout this project for ideas

https://github.com/singingwolfboy/django-with-dropbox

and here is documentation for django-storages

He is saying these aren't static files. It sounds like he uploads them using the Django admin, which of course is like an end user on a client uploading files to the media directory.

Since that is the case it sounds like the Dropbox option is the best. Documentation was provided earlier. So being that it seems like he read through the documentation, my question is where is he stuck in the Dropbox implementation?
